"Autism Isn't A Disability" You Tell Me As My Family Are All Considered Carers For Me,

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as my family are all considered carers for me,

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i receive disability benefits for my autism

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i have special needs so severe i cant even attend school

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i am nonverbal

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i can't regularly dress, bath, do grooming tasks without help or at all

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me after I've spent months of my life requiring 24/7 1-1 supervision

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i am housebound

"Autism isn't a disability" you tell me as i am officially diagnosed with nothing other than autism.

Maybe autism is a disability, and maybe you just don't want to accept you are disabled because of the stigma around disability? All autistic people are significantly impaired in areas of functioning, even if that makes you uncomfortable, that is the truth. And maybe you should spent 1 minute to go and read the diagnostic criteria for autism. That all autistic people meet.

Autism is a disability, and when you advocate that it's not, you are making real world harm, especially for people with substantial support needs.

They don't give disability services to non disabled people, so please, when your advocacy includes limiting services for those of us who need them the most, is it advocacy or are you just harming people who are already in positions that they can't advocate and be as loud as you.

Hello My dearest friends,🌟

My name is Mahmoud Jihad, from Gaza. My home, my university, everything has been destroyed. I now live in a flimsy tent with my family after losing everything. I was studying Information Technology while caring for my family, and now we have nothing. 😔

We are living amidst indescribable destruction and desperately need your help to survive. 😭 Even a small donation can make a huge difference. Every contribution is a spark of hope in the darkness of this war. ✨

My campaign is verified by: @beesandwatermelons ✅ #190 and @gazavetters ✅ #63.

My GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/463cbf01

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Let's rebuild our lives together. 🙏❤️d

Me yapping:

The who boys are sooooooo cute. I wish I had tiny versions of them so I could put them in my purse and carry them everywhere, and they will live in my dollhouse. I will pet them, feed them grapes, bathe them in the sink, and sew tiny clothes for them. I will protect them from harm with my life.😈it's so cute to imagine them being tiny running around in my room like mice.

Since my previous Pink Floyd petpet gifs were so popular here are petpet gifs of The Who!

November 20, 1973

San Francisco, California

Keith Moon of The Who passed out twice during a concert at the Cow Palace and was carried from the stage.

Pete Townshend: "Can anybody play the drums?"A 19-year-old fan who scalped his ticket came to the stage. Bill Graham looked him in the eye and asked, "Can you do it?"The young drummer, Scot Halpin, finished the set and took a bow with the band. He was given a tour jacket and was later honored by Rolling Stone magazine.
